Ok, here is a little colour from me:
-- there are now well over 100 r-cran-*, a few dozen are 'mine'
-- I have quite some experience which "batch building" as we ran a service
called cran2deb once which took all of CRAN and (with some tools) created
r-cran-* for each of these; at the same around 2100 or so packages (and
CRAN now has more than 3100)
-- pbuilder did NOT reliably work in parallel there, we always serialized
-- I got a recent patch to the r-cran.mk called from debian/rules which lets
xvfb-run 'rotate' over a set of ports; that should help with the previous
builds
-- I cannot offer other help besides saying ... "in my chroot it all works"
What can we do to improve things?
